Maybe per watt?
That's not the impression I got, but I'm not well-versed in the marketing terminology. Is that the impression you get from here? https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/05/intel-claims-30-perf...
How about some consumer desktop ones with ECC RAM support?
Never gonna happen. ECC is "pro" feature for Intel, reserved for Xeons only. They have to justify high price of Xeons somehow.
Good to see lower power usage but the one thing I still feel is missing is widespread support for ECC on the desk(lap)top.
Wait isn't 7th gen already essentially a refresh of 6th gen?

Why is ECC sought after on the desktop?
Some people run >32GB RAM with long uptime and there the chance of a random bit-flip might not be acceptable. Imagine working on some Deep Learning model, training it for 30 consecutive days and then hitting a memory bug during computation.

Curious what your use case is that entails ECC? Are you currently being held back without it?

Not your everyday requirement, also ML is somewhat tolerant to small faults like that.

Is the lack of a secure door to your property something that would hold you back? I doubt that. Still, secure doors are important.
Anyway, not sure how exactly ECC relates to security. Is there any specific attack vector where it helps?
